Marengo, with about 500popula--Moa is a banking town and market center that la equal to eome county .seats, that we have seen. It has wide Awake, careful and shrewd business citizens, who are united in all proper efforts to promote the general welfare of the village. The Marengo Blues are clear ahead in beating other clubs at baseball. The Ohio Central division of the New York Central lines has no better hay market south of Mt. Gilead than Marengo. The grain, produce, and stock market is also superior at Mareugo. The M. E. church, excellent schools, K of P. lodge, Odd Fellows, and Ladies' Aid society demonstrate by their superiority the progress here. ThA streets of Marengo are lighted by gasoline. There are sidewalks of flag stone and cement all over the incorporation and to and from the railway depot. The region around Marengo consists of some of the finest farming lauds of Ohio, peopled by a thrifty, 'industrious class of rural citizens who are independent. The old Eng-lish couplet applies to them as follows:Princes and kings may flourish and may fade, A breath can make them, as a breath has made, But a staunch yeomanry, their coun try's pride, When once destroyed will never be supplied; But they're just prolific and never yet have died. So it is. You will notice that these farmers have their pork barrels al ways well filled and crops growing as they sleep. They are earnest workers and they all read the Mor row County Republican.

FRANK DUMBAUGH Elected to Fill Unexpired Term cf Councilman John Mcliil'ln Frank Dumbaugh was elected by acclamation Wednesday night to fill the unexpired terra of John McMillin. A resolution was adopted by the council providing that when it becomes neces sary for a citizen in making connections to the sanitary sewer to cross an other citizen's land, it shall be the duty of the first to pay for his right of way if it can be secured in no other way. It was futther ordered that whenever it is required the council shall build house connections to the line of the as sessed lot nearest the sanitary sewer, Since the last meeting another survey has been made for the sewer laterals and Engineer Eells presented a revised report. Lateral No. 1, east to the Cover property, is estimated at $230.25. No. 2, east to the Bruce property, at $105.56; No. 3 west to McCammon's alley, $631.04; No. 4 northwest from the corner of Iberia and North streets to the north line of Mark Cook's residence, $280.75. The total cost of these laterals is $1237.60. It is suggested that No. 2 be extend ed to Dye's grocery and No. 3 to Delaware avenue. The total revenue from assessments on the first estimate would be $375, showing a deficit of $862.60. If each person took out a permit this would amount to about $250 and a probable reduction of 20 per t ent. ;n cost, or over $400 would bring the deficit o a very amount indeed. A bill of $4.60 was allowed for re building the stack of cannon balls in front of G. A. R. hall and a few small bills were allowed for street work. Sam Halbert asked for the sidewalk grade in front of his lot on Pleasant street.

PERSONS AND VANDYKES Sketch of Family Haying a Very Remarkable Ancestry.After reading the account of the death of Mrs. Rachel Pierson Nellons of Sterling, Colo., I referred to the his tory of the Pierson and Vandike family. Kachel was the daughter of Arrunah Pierson and a granddaughter of John Pierson and Sarah (Vandike) Pierson. Sarah Vandike was born in Philadelphia in 1760 and was married in 1776; she was a daughter of Arthur Vandike who was a son of Nicholas Vandike, a member of the colonial congress from Delaware. She was a sister of J. C. Vandike, who was an officer in the same brigade with bis brother-in-law, John Pierson, and also was one of the officers having charge of Major Andre, the British spy. Mrs. j Nellons' grandfather, John Pierson,- was a son of Abraham and Mary Hart Pierson; Abraham was the son of Rev. John Pierson, who was born in Lynn, Mass., in 1641. Rev. John was the son of a Rev. Abraham Pierson, who was the founder of Yale college in 1701 and was president of that institution until his death in 1707. This Rev. Abraham Pierson was the son of a Rev. Abraham who was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1610. He graduated at Oxford in 1632. Shortly after his marriage to a Miss Wheelright they came to America, landing in Boston in 1639. Because he was a Presbyterian he was not allowed to stay in Boston, so he removed to Lynn, where his son, the founder of Yale, was born. In 1641 he removed to Long Island; he preached to the Indians here and also on the mainland in Conneticut. Later he removed to New Jersey where he was a man of great influence. He laid out the town of Newark, N. J., in 1666. He died in 1678. Mrs. Nellons' grandfather was a soldifrbf the American Revolution; He was at first a minuteman, afterwards enlisting in the first New Jersey regiment. At the expiration of his enlistment, he re-enlisted in Captain Richard Cox's company of the 3rd N. J. Continentals. He served through the war in that regiment. He was present and took part in the siege at Yorktown which resulted in the surrender of General Cornwallis. He was also a member of Washington's Life Guard during the New Jersey campaign.We are iadebted to Arthur Vandike of Lexington, 111., for these facts. H. K. Faun Dudley For the second time in a couple of months, death has again entered the home of Chas. Dudley, who lives near Rich Hill on the Capt. C. H. Coe place. His six year old daughter Faun, after an illness of two weeks from brain fever, died Friday night. Funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday by Rev. W. H. Eglin after which interment was made at Bloomfield. Mrs. Dudley, the mother of this little girl, died only a few weeks ago, leaving her husband and five small children. Mr. Dudley, too, has been in poor health for some time, making this home a Btricken one indeed.

The enumerators will wear a badge inscribed "United States Census, 1910. " The law requires every adult person to furnish the prescribed information, but also provides that it shall be treated confidentially, so that no injury can come to any person from answering the questions. The Census Bureau, prior to April 15, has distributed to every farm owner and tenant in this state a blank or schedule containing the Census questions relative to farm operations and equipment, This should be filled up, if possible, not later than the morning of April 15, but if anyone has been unable to fill it up by that time, he should do it as soon afterwards as he can. v People who do not speak English or who do not understand the schedule completely should get help from others, if possible, in filling it up. The President has issued a proclamation, calling on all citizens to cooperate with the Census and assuring them that it has nothing to do with taxation. army or jury service, compulsory school attendance, regulation of immi gration, or enforcement of any law, and that no one can be injured by answering the inquiries. It is of the utmost importance that the farm census of this state be com plete and correct. Therefore every farm owner and tenant should promptly, fully, and accurately fill up the "Advance Farm Schedule" aad carefully preserve it for the enumerator when he calls. The enumerators appointed for Mor row county are as follows: Bennington township and Marengo village, Ernest Ashley; Canaan township, Homer S. Gruber; Cardington township, John M.

Has Largest Attendance on Record and Instructive Sessions Never before in the history of Marion presbytery has the stated spring meeting been so well attended as it was this week in Mt. Gilead. There are 27 churches belonging to this denomination in the counties of Morrow, Marion, Union and Delaware. They are served by 14 pastors, who with Dr. A. W. Clokey as a corresponding member and laymen from the several congregations brought to the register of the presbytery 31 names. The delegates to the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionrry societies numbered 77, a total of 108 visitors who were entertained in Mt. Gilead homes and served with dinner and supper by the Baptist Aid society. The music was especially appreciated, being gived by a mixed quartette, chorus, Miss Martha Terry, Mr. Robert Guinther and Mrs. Carl V. Beebe, organist.The opening session was Monday night when J. G. Currey, moderator, preached, E. Melville Wylie of Delaware and A. W. Clokey assiinstiog the service. A. C. Crist of Delaware and S. C. Bates of Marion were chosen respectively moderator and clerk. Tuesday morning after roll call, the following committees were appointed: Billa and Overatures, J. G. Currey; Leave of Absence, A. P. Byrd; Finance, J. L. and C. W. Floydant and Orville Taylor. Dr. Hawn made a strong plea for church extension and E. W. Wylie led the devotional service and then the report of the treasurer and of Wm. Houston and E. M. Wylie, the committees on foreign missions and narrative were read. The last mentioned was not indicative of the presbytery's condition owing to the fact that the chairman of the committee was away from home when some of the reports were returned and they were forwarded to him while other pastors, knowing of his absence brought their reports with them. Tuesday afternoon Dr. Hawn reported on home missions. The commissioners elected to the general assembly at Atlantic City were J, G. Currey, Delaware and Wm. Houston, Mt.

The presbytery then repaired to the Baptist church to listen to Miss Millar, the evangelist, and Mrs. U. S. G. Jones of India. In the evening Mrs. Jones again spoke, telling of the advances of the gospel in the Orient. The call of the churches of this district for $2600 to complete the required apportionment needed in order to secure the Wooster University legacy was presented. W. S. Eagleson, 14 years pastor in Mt. Gilead was made a corresponding member of the presbytery and the closing hours were spent at the Baptist church discussing missions and young people's work. Missionary Societies. Almost without exception the program printed in a former issue was followed.The memorial for Mrs. Milton McMillin and an interesting letter from Miss Mary A.
